JLAN Sources - Where is the lastest version?

[bbp]

I'm looking for JLAN to build my own CMS because I think that library is doing exactly what I want. Unfortunatly, I'm not able to find the lastest version of the sources.

So far, I have found 4 differents places to download the library and/or sources of 4 differents versions:

1st, I search on Google and I found:
http://www.alfresco.com/products/aifs/
This page claim JLAN to not be free and offer a trial download. The download page redirect to:
http://www.starlasoft.com/evals/jlansrvDemo.zip
But the Web site http://www.starlasoft.com is not responding, so I suspect it to be a deprecated version.

2nd, I found a free version on SourceForge:
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=143373&package_id=248550
Version 4.0 - 2007-10-10
That version look prety old.

3rd, I found a version on the repository:
http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/alfresco-jlan/jars/
Version unknown - 2008 april-june
It sound up to date, but what I found on the next point let me think that's not the lastest version.

4th, I looked on the Alfresco war and found that it is using "alfresco-jlan-embed.jar" library:
Version unknown (probably the lastest) - 2008-12-5
But I can not find the source of that version.

The version from of the JLAN jar the Alfresco war seem to be up to date, but the class files in it are not all the same as the one found on the repository. I want to know where are the lastest sources of JLAN, the one used to compile "alfresco-jlan-embed.jar", if they are available.

Thanks

P.S. It would be nice to clean everything up to help programmers to find the lastest version of the source code instead of multiple deprecated versions. Especialy the links to http://www.starlasoft.com.

All the alfresco sources are available from alfresco's subversion.   That's the only place to look.

JLAN is probably in the "alfresco-jlan" project.

I did look on SVN repository. That's the 3rd place I looked. But the file there look out of date:
SVN (alfresco-jlan) = 2008 april-june
alfresco-jlan-embed.jar = 2008-12-5
and class from alfresco-jlan-embed.jar are not all the same.

Example:
File from alfresco-jlan.jar from SVN:                    3292 May  6  2008 org/alfresco/jlan/server/SocketSessionHandler.class
File from alfresco-jlan-embed.jar from the WAR:  3509 Dec  5  2008 org/alfresco/jlan/server/SocketSessionHandler.class

I can only see 2 reasons for this difference:
1. the alfresco-jlan.jar and/or the java sources from alfresco-jlan on SVN is not up to date
OR
2. alfresco-jlan-embed.jar do not come from alfresco-jlan on SVN and it is not open source

I'm probably wrong, I just want to know what is going on with all those files.

I'm currently using the sources from SVN alfresco-jlan project. I thnik I will be fine with it but I have the feeling it's not up to date.

Thanks

hello there,
is it possible to download the source codes of JLAN5 using svn? what i could see on svn is just HEAD.

The latest Alfresco JLAN source code can be downloaded from the public SVN server at :-

http://svn.alfresco.com/repos/alfresco-open-mirror/alfresco/HEAD/root/projects/alfresco-jlan/

The project includes it's own build.xml so you can build your own Jar files. The alfresco-jlan-embed.jar is the version of JLAN that is built to be used by Alfresco, in the Alfresco environment, there are quite a few classes which are excluded from this build as they are not used.

The Alfresco JLAN code now includes the JLAN Client source code too.
